Heritage

We don’t just design Bridgedales… we make them. Bridgedale Outdoor Ltd is located at the tip of the Strangford Lough, Newtownards, near Belfast in Northern Ireland under the shadow of the Scrabo Tower which was built as a monument to Lord Londonderry.

The factory here has been knitting socks in Newtownards since WW1, when the first army socks were made. The strong heritage in hosiery is a feature of the Bridgedale brand and several of our team have been working in the factory for over 40 years, so you could say we know our socks!

When the first Bridgedales were launched in the early 1980's there were 3 colours, 2 sizes and 2 lengths, just 12 products, now we have over 500 products in the range and we have factories not only in Northern Ireland but South Africa too.

Quality

Bridgedale prides itself on producing the most comfortable, highest quality, hardwearing socks in the business. We are market leaders in the innovation of hosiery technology which means we produce the most comfortable socks on the latest machinery.

We are continually investing in the latest knitting and finishing machinery which enables us to develop new designs and constantly improve the performance of our socks.

Every single Bridgedale is passed through a series of inspection processes and at the packing stage is hand inspected to reach our very high quality standards.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do.

Continual Innovation

Our product development team is continually listening to our customers and looking to make continual improvements. We have a panel of gear testers to help with comfort and durability trials, some of them walk over 100 miles/ week.

We look to understand the latest trends in footwear technology and produce innovative products that work with the latest footwear systems to provide all day, enduring comfort.

We look to appeal to as many outdoor enthusiasts across the world who are passionate about their activities and want to wear the most comfortable socks on their feet.
